1. Effective beginning Spring
1999 the BOR implemented new CIR guidelines for reporting "distance" courses.
The new BOR guidelines specified that a distance course be identified with
a "D" section & be defined as "a course using any distance technology
for more that 51% of instruction time". For the purpose of this report, we
audited previous course records & ammended the data to meet the Spring
1999 BOR standard. For this reason, this report's data may not match previous
year-end reports.

3. Both number
of courses and enrollment data fluctuate within the Banner system. All DDEC
data is pulled from Banner during the last 3 weeks of each term (retention
data). Official CIR enrollment reports from the BOR are pulled just a few
weeks into each term, on what is known as the CIR Census Date. The variance
between the early and late data is as much as 400 students and illustrates
the degree to which data in Banner is in flux. The DDEC's data is actually
more accurate, since it reflects how many students completed each class and
were supported by the DDEC. Both the BOR and the DDEC measure enrollment data
and not head count.

6.
As of Spring 2004 courses, the decision to teach a course using distance technologies for more than 95% of instruction time (that means you have maybe only one face-to-face meeting and perhaps a proctored final) will effect the student's fees and residency requirements. The new UWG guidelines specified that
A Total Distance Course (those which meet at least 95% through videoconferencing, WebCT, or other technologies, instead of face-to-face) are marked with an N in the Section Code in the bulletin on BanWeb. The course must not have more than one face-to-face meeting, in addition to a final proctored exam if desired. The location need not be the Carrollton Campus. For the purpose of this report, therefore, we changed the colunm fields in Summer 2004 to reflect this change. For this reason, this report's data may not match previous year-end reports. see: http://distance.westga.edu/policy/coding_policy.html
